    Beautiful boat, sunrise and limit of trout

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Hunter’s knowledge of the lake, attention to detail, and professionalism made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. His boat was so clean and beautiful. Watching the sunrise over the lake, reeling in fish all morning, and finishing with a full limit made for an unforgettable trip. We’d absolutely book with Hunter again and highly recommend Hooked Up Charters to anyone looking for a first-class fishing experience. 🎣

    Great family fishing trip

    2 hour evening scenic on July 3, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Hunter, Branden and Mason were great. They let our 5 and 7 year old real in the fish, they we so impressed. Branden engaged the boys to keep them interested when the fishing was slow. More fish would have been better of course but we landed one really nice sized one and a couple got away. A really great memory we would definitely do it again

    Afternoon trip

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 6, 2023 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had a great time! Captain Hunter went above and beyond to contact us the day before and let us know the wind was gonna be terrible on our selected date. He was able to change our date with no issues. He let the kiddos hang out in the cabin with the AC when needed. We got some catches and filled our cooler with yummy salmon to eat later!
